Ambient temp and cylinder honing

If the pistons and rings aren't scuffed they could be used in another engine block that can be bored to their size.

I hope you go with a counterweighted crank in the new engine. It sure helps babbit live longer, and should make the engine a bit smoother.
 
Mr. Wesenberg I'm gonna really examine how I use my car. When I lived in Georgia I drove year round and often. Back Here in Jersey I don't like the road salt on my POV much less my Model A. Plus I told my kids to try and hold onto the car. Its nothing fancy but its old and its cool. Its fun to maintain you guys know. Imagine eighty-five years from now they open it up and fine a stock crank and Babbitt bearings. I'll discuss work performed by me with the engine rebuilder. Yes Mr. D.J. Moordigian it was a true labor of love on my friend
 
A friend gave me a good center cap with good Babbitt. I put it in the engine last night and adjusted the clearance. Buttoned it all up this morning. Went for a 30 mile ride, no knocks nice and quiet. I think I'm good. Surmising the upper Babbitt in the block is ok. Time will tell. I will be a winter rebuild at Schwalms.
